For Vivara, integrity and trust in relation-
ships are some of the measures needed
to guarantee business continuity. Our
supply chain comprises suppliers of
production inputs - gold, silver, colored
gems, diamonds - and national and in-
ternational partners in the segments of
jewelry, Life, accessories, and watches.
In 2021, 69.63% of products received for
sales were manufactured in our factory
located at the Manaus Free Trade Zone
(up 1.19% over the previous year), and
the remaining 30.37% were acquired
from national and international suppli-
ers. We have approved a new supplier
for natural gems and another one for
diamonds important measures for
development of the supply chain, as the
process has high quality and competi-
tiveness criteria.

Through our Value Chain Development
Program, 100% of our direct suppliers
and service providers are analyzed ac-
cording to environmental and social
criteria, by means of due diligence and
reputational analysis, or audits. All new
suppliers not eligible for due diligence
and audit are also informed about the
Supplier Code of Conduct, a corporate
guide with the objective of setting the re-
quirements and general principles that
should govern the ethical and social and
environmental conduct of all our busi-
ness partners.
In 2021, the scope and reach of the
supplier reputation analysis were ex-
panded to cover other activities and
services. With the widening of the crite-
ria, we began to make this analysis for
engineering and expansion partners as
well. With this in mind, we set evaluation
levels based on criticality. For the max-
imum level, the reputational analysis is
thorough, including media analysis, as a
criterion for risk assessment and mitiga-
tion. There are three types of risk analy-
sis: assessments by approval, periodic,
and on demand, to ensure the lowest
possible exposure.
We do not condone child, forced, slave
or slave-like labor, or raw materials from
illegal mining in our operations, nor do
we establish commercial or institutional
relationships with companies engaged
in such practices, whether suppliers, ser-
vice providers or partners. In 2021, we
continued our direct supplier audit pro-
gram and completed the audit schedule
as established. We did not observe re-
stricting situations in any of our suppli-
ers regarding child labor, slave or slave-
like labor, or raw materials without due
proof of origin in the evaluation carried
out during the audit. 408-1 | 409-1
Our Supplier Code of Conduct has spe-
cific clauses regarding these issues.
In the case of child labor, our partners
must comply with the legal require-
ments for programs involving young
apprentices, especially those related
to working hours, working conditions,
wages, health and safety.
